S4:12 EP54: Keep Calm and Carry On: The Importance of Ritual and Tradition

Queen Elizabeth II died last week after a 70 year reign. We'll hear some inspiring words from the Queen and explore why her leadership meant so much to so many. Meditations on the importance of tradition, continuity, and ritual. We'll talk about everything from John O'Donohue's Blessings to G.K. Chesterton to Downton Abbey to King Saul and our longing for 'true Kingship.'
